Hi Guys! Wow, when I said an update a month it felt like it was a long time but the Month flew by super fast! Then again it was busy with the Holidays and everything. Anyhoo...
Thank you so much Clamchuck (It'll be hinted in this chapter how some of the others are connected! I hope you enjoy it ;) Thanks so much for reviewing!), Ava Fay, and Little Gem Magnolia for sticking with me!
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and a little heads up; they'll be some bad boys introduced in this one ;)
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Chapter 3 O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Jubilee yawned and tapped her pencil on her notepad to the beat of the song playing. She had gotten the lucky draw for the day but since her music taste seemed to be different from the others she was afraid of the reaction they would get once they noticed. Oddly enough, Roberto who she had opened with was humming along with more than half the songs. Guess you really can't judge a book by it's cover because she would have never imagined him being into the electronic beats pounding through the shop.
She yawned again much to her dismay. It had been her fourth working day in a row and she was exhausted. Which made no sense to her since half the time she was just sitting on her bar stool. She opened the drawer in front of her and grabbed a gumball popping it into her mouth. Maybe sugar would help, she thought to herself and let the huge ball move to one side making her cheek appear a lot bigger than it actually was.
Her brown almond eyes went to the clock on the wall while her tongue skimmed the ball in her mouth. It would be four a clock soon and more clients would be coming in. As if hearing that their presences would be needed the door to the back area opened.
Laura walked in chuckling with Ray following close behind, a smirk on his features. Something she noticed, he hardly ever did and a lot of the times when he did he was accompanied by the short girl.
"Hi," Laura greeted before taking a look at her, what she saw making her eyebrows perk up, "Who beat you up?" She asked, eyeing her cheek.
Jubilee pushed the gumball to the center of her mouth letting her teeth dig into the middle to keep it from popping out of her mouth. The action also caused the yellow color of the ball to show, "Want one?" She offered in a muffled voice.
Laura smirked and shook her head, "pass" and with that walked away to her station. Her brown eyes followed her and she expected to watch Ray's figure pass by but when it didn't she turned to see that he was still standing by the door looking at the circular candy in her mouth. They finally left the small sour ball and moved to look into her eyes and she found herself heating up. Knowing that her cheeks were changing colors she quickly turned away finding the appointment book very fascinating.
He passed by afterwards without saying anything. She watched him disappear from her peripherals before looking back towards the lobby, the cause of her embarrassment coming to mind.
The day prior had been Wanda's day off, because of this the energy in the shop had been a bit more laid back. Not that Wanda was a slave driver either but for whatever reason everyone seemed much more laxed. So, since she didn't have to be extra tidy, she took advantage of her free time and doodled in her notepad. What did she usually like to draw? Things that were in her line of vision, which unfortunately for her, meant it'd be these strangers that she had pretty much just met a few days prior.
The cool and fun thing was that these new strangers she was oddly becoming fond of were pretty fascinating people. They were all bound by the enjoyment of tattooing but at the same time were all so different and this was something she was able to pick up when she took closer inspection to the tattoos they actually had.
Wanda had a goth element to her which she made apparent just by her choice of wardrobe. She was always in deep reds and black and always wore a sleeve cover on her left hand that hid her skin from the wrist to mid forearm. She could only guess that this was her style, the covering itself did a great job of showcasing one of her tats. Right above where the sleeve cover ended two hands, almost touching at the palms were reaching upwards. Small blue stars scattered above them, a pentagram and crescent moon mixed among them with the word Magic in neat cursive in red in between the hands.
She had been caught staring at it before and Wanda had lightly grazed a finger on her covered forearm stating that it was a reference to something someone would often say to her, "Everything you do is magic." She quickly changed the topic after that. Her second biggest tattoo was the one on her neck. Flowers from the tip of one shoulder to the other dipping inwards to meet at the middle connecting with a crescent moon on its back on top of multiple triangles. She had no idea what it meant but judging by the other small tattoos littering the raven haired, red tipped girl she could only assume that it was part of her goth aesthetic.
Roberto's most obvious tattoo was on the side of his neck, the sun design was in a very dark black ink, the gaps of his own flesh making the design obvious. She was able to see hints of others peeking out from the edges of his long shorts and shirts but not enough details to know exactly what they were. She felt that the sun fit him though, he always seemed to come in with the brightest mood and he liked to dazzle whatever female came in with his smile.
Laura had beautiful cursive writing on different parts of her body. From the few days she had seen her she had to assume that her favorite must have been the ones on her legs because she always made a point to wear shorts with high socks. Right about the hem of the socks the word" drop" was on the right and "dead on the left. She could also see hints of many more. For example when she reached upwards to grab something from a tall shelf she was able to see what looked like claws on her midriff but didn't get a good look at it to see what it could be. The other most prominent one she had was on the inside of the wrist of her right hand. It was a giant X in blue ink, a small number underneath it with both encircled in a black circle. She couldn't find the importance to the number 23, but with time she hoped she would learn it's significance.
Yes, they were all interesting people. And now again she had to recall the embarrassing moment that had her staring away from the last member of their group. She had already watched the others quite a bit, and yesterday she had made the mistake of zoning into Ray as he tattooed a client. The way that he sat showcased his left arm just right and it didn't help that he had been wearing a tank top, showing a lot more skin then she had ever seen on him. The dark colors of what was a thunderous sky decorated the top of his shoulder and traveled downwards merging in with a dark blue that traveled all the way down to his wrist. White lines in sporadic patterns flowed down his arm blending in both other ink colors, pooling and circling at the base of his arm. It was a beautiful storm. It was appealing enough that she didn't realize she was drawing it until the sound of someone clearing their throat broke her out of the trance.
What she saw when she had looked made her flush red. Ray's eyes went from her to the drawing in front of her before he looked over to his client.
"Jubilee's going to take care oh you now. You ever need anything else let me know."
The guy he had been with looked at his arm with a smirk, "Thanks man! It looks amazing."
Ray nodded and mumbled a 'no problem' before walking away from them. When he was far enough Jubilee grabbed a paper with the post care instructions and let the customer know what the charge was. With no hesitation the guy paid and left leaving her to put the cash away in the register.
As she did, she noticed the notepad she was doodling on moved sideways and away from her. When she looked over to it she saw dark orbs looking over it and that horrible heat she'd been feeling a lot the last few days returned.
"This is really good," he murmured. "You even got the electricity at the bottom..." he added while his hand encircled his wrist, covering the white waves of ink he was referring to.
"Uh, yeah...it's a really neat design."
"I sketched it myself," he remarked before looking up at her and then moving away. "Anyway I'm going on a break but if there's any walk-ins I can take it. I'm free this next hour."
"Ok", she whispered and watched him go towards the hall, the last visual she could see as he disappeared being the storm she had drawn.
Her thoughts from the embarrassment of getting caught watching were broken when one of them spoke behind her.
"Where's everyone else?"
Jubilee turned to make contact with the inquiring hazel green eyes, "Roberto's on a break since he just finished with a client. Wanda said she had to talk to her brother about something."
"Pietro's in the office?" Laura asked, perking a brow letting her eyes wander to the clock on the wall.
"It's Friday," Ray remarked while setting up his station.
"Oh duh, that's why we're here late," she muttered more to herself than anyone else.
"Who won the music station today? Ray asked looking up at the speakers..
Jubilee found herself biting the side of her lip, "Me..."
"Hmm, didn't imagine you'd be into these types of beats."
"What did you think I'd be into?" She asked without thinking, forcing herself to look at him though every fiber of her being was fighting against it.
His eyes roamed over her slowly before he shrugged and walked towards the storage room, "Not sure to be honest."
She watched him go before turning to Laura who had also looked after him. After a few seconds the shorter girl turned to her and shrugged as well, before walking over to her, "So how's my night looking," she asked and pulled the schedule towards herself. Jubilee watched her, though her mind and thoughts were paying no attention. Instead her mind wondered even more about the tall steel blue eyed enigma.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Later O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Jubilee walked past Wanda, her fingers were flipping over the pages on one of the binders on the coffee table. While she did this the Asian girl was walking around cleaning the arm chairs, barstools and counters in the waiting area. In the back area the others were cleaning up thier stations to prepare for the next wave of people to torture. Well at least that's what Jubilee liked to call it cause who really enjoyed getting poked by a small needled a bazillion times?
After cleaning one of the chairs she looked up to the back. Ray was leaning on the pony wall nearest Laura's area, all his weight on his elbows, his chin resting on his hand as he watched her intently. When she was done cleaning the area on her desk his lips parted, whatever he said was not what she wanted to hear because her eyes narrowed and she sprayed him with one of the clear bottles in her area. He backed away but from where she was she could see his mouth opened as he laughed.
It was an adorable picture straight out of a rom-com, and she enjoyed a good rom-com, so she wasn't sure why she was getting a heavy feeling at the pit of her stomach.
After a few seconds of telling herself that maybe she ate something bad she gave a small hesitant smile and said, "They're cute…"
Wanda looked up and around the room at the words, "Who?"
"Them," she answered and tilted her chin up at the pair. "It's neat when people find that connection, it must be pretty cool when you connect over something you really enjoy too."
Wanda followed the head tilt and grinned as she caught Laura chasing Ray around with the clear bottle, "What kind of connection are we talking about?"
"...well a love one, I mean they're dating right?"
Wanda straight out laughed at the words, dropping the binder in her hands on the table to sit back and cross her hands in front of her chest. Her laughter made the others turn towards them and Jubilee found herself getting hot yet again with everyone's attention on her.
"They're going to get so annoyed when I tell them that, they hate that people assume that."
"Wait, they're not? He always seems so...care free around her."
"Well, that's because they've been friends for a very long time. They met at a group home in their teens and they've been best friends since. Ray, I'm sure you've noticed is kind of closed off. He's not with them," she glanced at the three behind the counter, Roberto had now joined in on their shinaganins spraying both the others with his own bottle, "cause they're all roommates." She grinned again before a chuckle escaped her.
"What's so funny?" Laura asked walking away from the boys giving up on their game to go towards the counter.
Wanda's mouth parted to answer but before she could Jubilee grabbed onto her arm with a pleading look, "Don't...please."
Wanda smirk turned into a more gentle smile and she looked back at the counter, "Oh nothing."
"Hey Jubilee..."
After giving Wanda a thankful look, Jubilee turned to Roberto who was looking out the window with great interest. "Yeah?"
"You still have like fifteen minutes before you're off right?"
Almond brown eyes turned to look at the clock on the wall, "yeah..."
"Your friends' waiting outside."
"Oh! Is she? She's been early all week even though I tell her the exact time I get off."
"She doesn't have to wait outside, you should tell her to come in, maybe introduce us..."
Jubilee was going to respond when a groan was heard from everyone else in the shop making her look from person to person. "What?"
Laura rolled her eyes, "Roberto doesn't have enough things to do around here that he thinks he has time to flirt."
Roberto went next to Laura and pushed her slightly, winning a glare from the young woman, he then turned and gave Jubilee a sheepish smile, "Hey, it beats waiting outside alone and bored!"
Jubilee gave them all a once over before shrugging and walking towards the door.
The three behind the counter went to the large window to watch the interaction. Jubilee said something, probably along the lines of "Hey come in" and the dark skinned girl shook her head feverishly prompting the Asian girl to grab her by the elbow and pull her towards the shop. They ricocheted between the younger girls as they struggled against each other. A few minutes later the bell indicating the door open sounded and Laura, Ray and Roberto scattered pretending they hadn't been watching the exchange.
Jubilee came into view seconds later, her arm twisted into the other girls still pretty much forcing her in, "Hey everyone this is Amara! My roommate since I live at her house. Amara this is everyone."
"Hi," she greeted shyly as she looked around the room.
Wanda nodded at her, Roberto threw her a wave, while Laura looked her up and down with a curious gaze. Ray didn't say anything at all, just went on with his day.
"Take a seat while I finish tidying up," Jubilee stated, dragging her towards the counter and motioned to a bar stool. "We'll be out in less than ten."
The dark skinned girl nodded and took a seat.
"Hey Jubilee," the Asian girl turned to her boss. "Will you do me a favor and make sure the bathroom is stocked before you go."
"Sure."
Amaras eyes widened and she tried to grab on to Jubilee's arm as she walked away from her. When the petite Asian girl was gone all eyes turned to the dark skinned girl.
Roberto moved quickly sliding into the moving bar stool chair at the counter opposite of the dark skinned girl.
"Hi! I'm Roberto!"
"Hello."
"I've seen you before," he stated more than asked. "Logan's Training Room right?"
"Yeah," she answered somewhat meekly.
"I was telling Jubilee that you guys should try some of the classes. I'm the boxing instructor or if that seems too aggressive for you, Laura," he looked over his shoulder at the short girl behind him, "does yoga. The classes are free so it wouldn't hurt to check it out, and especially now that you know some of the friendly faces," he smiled charmingly at her, making her flush and look down at the counter.
"Oh yeah, I'll definitely tell her we need to check it out," she responded slowly before looking up to meet his gaze.
"Cool, hopefully I'll see you guys there soon," he swung back and forth on the chair like an excited child.
Behind him Laura watched the scene slack-jawed. She didn't know how he did it. She didn't think that smile of his was all that. She turned and glanced at Ray who had also turned to look at her at the exact time. He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders up.
"Finished!" Jubilee's voice carried through the hallway and soon her yellow jacket was in view.
"Thanks," Wanda remarked before looking at the time. "You can go ahead and leave a few minutes early."
"Cool!" Was the excited answer and Jubilee hurried to the back of the counter to retrieve some of her stuff. Amara got up from the barstool and stood awkwardly waiting for her to be done, as she gave another look round the room her eyes met the chocolate brown orbs still studying her and watched as the lips mouthed a non verbal bye to her.
Before she could return the gesture Jubilee was at her side grabbing at her arm and pulling her towards the hallway leading to the back entrance, "Alright well you guys have a good night!" She called out.
"Wait a minute..." Jubilee stopped in her tracks to stare at Wanda who looked pensive. "I know I have you off tomorrow but did you happen to make plans yet?" The Asian girl shook her head, "Want to make some?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"Laura and I are gonna be off early so we're just going to go next door. You guys should come, it's always an interesting experience. It's usually 21 and over but Pietro can put you guys on the list so it wouldn't be a problem."
"A club?" Amara asked wide eyed.
Wanda lips twitched upwards, "It's not as intimidating as it sounds," she promised.
"You can always just check it out for the experience and if it's not your scene it's just not your scene. You'll never know unless you give it a shot," it was Laura who spoke the words.
"That's true..." Jubilee answered, still looking hesitant.
"We'll take care of you," Wanda added. "If you want to make it easier I can switch your shift, come in tomorrow and take Sunday off, you know just in case you have a wild night."
"Wild how?" Amara's asked.
"She's teasing," Roberto remarked, "but I think you'll have fun, they have local bands and the drinks and the snacks are pretty good."
The younger girls shared a look before Amara shrugged and Jubilee smiled, "Ok then, you want me here at 9 tomorrow morning?" Wanda nodded and both girls promptly left saying their goodbyes.
"Was that really a good idea?" All eyes turned to the tallest member in the room.
"Why wouldn't it be?"
"They seem a little innocent for that type of environment, and it's Saturday."
"We all lose our innocence at some point," Wanda remarked, making the steel eyed boy give them disapproving looks. "Relax Ray, we already said we were going to take care of them. We're there every weekend, what could go wrong?" she added and went back to looking inside the tattoo binders on the table before her.
Ray watched her for a few seconds before looking away when the door opened announcing a client. The only thought in his head was that he hated when people asked what could go wrong. That was a jinx waiting to happen.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Next Day O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
"We can go this way?" Jubilee asked as she watched Wanda open the door at the end of the hall, if she was remembering correctly it was the door to the back stage of the club.
"I can pretty much go wherever I want," Wanda answered, opening the door for the others to go through. After walking a few feet they came upon a man with a large build, a mohawk and a few tattoos that were hard to make out in the dim lighting. He looked like a bodyguard, all serious and dangerous and Jubilee was sure they were about to be stopped. The 'Hey! what are you doing here?!' she expected never came. Instead she was surprised when the huge man caught sight of the red tipped haired girl and threw her a wide smile.
"Hey!" He called out as she got closer and they surprised her even more when Wanda's hand went up and the back of her fisted hand made contact with his in greeting.
"Blob, heard it's supposed to be a good show today."
"It is, you brother is full of surprises."
"Hmm, I don't like surprises but he did say today was a 'can't miss' day. I guess we'll see how it goes." He nodded in response and he let them walk by, "We'll see you later. Good luck."
"Ha! The Hood doesn't need luck, you of all people should know that. Like Avalanche would say, `We're gonna rock."
Before Wanda could answer Laura perked an eyebrow at him, "You say that but X-Dolls always come in at number one so..." she smirked at him making him roll his eyes.
"We'll show you tonight."
"You think so?"
"Let's just say we might have a trump card tonight."
"If you say so," and with that there wasn't any more space to go back and forth making the argument end.
Noticing the younger girls confused look Wanda shrugged, "Fred Dukes, he's a friend and member of Pietro's band."
"Your brothers in a band?!"
"Oh I guess I forgot to mention it. Yeah, it's a reason he went the night club route. So he can still do what he loves."
"...You make it sound like at some point he almost lost it..."
"Hmm, we'll Pietro was part of another band before he assembled the The Brotherhood of Mutants."
"Evil Mutants," Laura added, winning an annoyed look from the blue eyed girl.
"That band actually made it big. They tour around and he was one of their vocalists but...Pietro has commitments here that didn't allow him to travel like that so he had to leave the band. Music is a part of him though and he couldn't stop so when dad offered to buy us this whole block for our future career projects it was easy for him to decide what he wanted to do. It wasn't a bad idea because it corresponds with what I love to do."
"Oh wow, that sounds kind of sad for your brother. Not being able to tour and travel," Amara remarked feeling sad for for this stranger she had yet to meet
"He's fine, there's nothing that would have changed his mind about it so he's over it and just...doing what he loves in one place." Jubilee nodded at the explanation and looked around almost missing the pensive look from the hazel eyed girl with them. "Anyway, you'll get to see him perform today," Wanda added as they finally made it out of the backstage area to where all the club action happened.
There was an open area right before a stage, many people dancing and pushing others around as the electronic rave music tumbled through the building. Right behind the dance area was a rail that separated the area from the rest of the large room. On the other side were multiple round and squared tables, each with a few barstools. At the very far end of the room, there were two rooms to the side and the bar area hid at a corner.
"Are we going to a VIP room?" Laura shouted at Wanda and pointed to a side of the room.
Wanda shook her head, "He said he reserved the front tables for us by the stage," and with that they walked through the throng of people towards the tables and chairs.
A few minutes later they sat at a round table, a Reserved sign at its center. Next to them there was another empty table with another reserved sign.
Laura eyed it weariley, "How many people did he think you were bringing?" She asked.
Wanda shrugged, "He probably just wanted to be safe," she replied and then turned to their newest young friends. "So are you guys dancers? You guys can go explore a bit before the performances start."
Both younger girls shook their heads feverishly, "I'm ok," Jubilee answered and Amara nodded in agreement.
"Alright, we know quite a bit about Jubilee. Amara why don't you tell us more about yourself. I mean we're gonna be seeing you around quite a bit, yeah?"
Amara couldn't help but blush as the attention of both older girls went to her. Jubilee just smirked at her loving the fact that she wasn't the one being grilled, they had done a good job of doing that to her Tuesday.
"Hmm, there's not much to say really."
Both older girls shared a look before turning back to her, "Are you originally from here?"
"Oh, No. I'm originally from Brazil but my parents brought me here when I was younger. We've been in Bayville for a while. I just graduated from the Institute of Higher Learning."
"I graduated from there too," Wanda remarked.
"Fancy, I went to regular Bayville High," Laura added, "So do you work? Or what do you do while we boss Jubilee around all day?"
"No, my parents don't want me working yet. During the school year they want me to focus on my studies and during the summer my mom..." she stopped hesitating whether she really wanted to give out the information, after getting a reassuring smile from Jubilee, she gave a sigh and said, "has me take part of the Miss Bayville Pageant."
"...a beauty pageant?" Wanda asked her eyebrows perking up.
Amara flushed and avoided eye contact, "It looks great on applications, with all the community work you do but pretty much yes. It's been tradition forever now and she really just...expects things of me..."
They were all quiet for a moment before Laura looked her up and down, "You're going to win right?"
This made her turn to her surprised and after a moment she smiled, "I'm definitely going to try."
"Have you won any?" Wanda asked as a plate of appetizers got set in front of them.
"Quite a few, yeah."
"How do you prepare for something like that?" Laura pondered.
Small shoulders shrugged up, "Workout, eat healthy and get enough sleep. Stuff like that."
"So things you should already be doing?" Laura remarked in a teasing tone.
Wanda didn't let the question be answered cutting in with, "Well that's interesting. Do either of you have tattoos?" she asked, eyeing the skin they were showing and changing the topic. Both girls shook their heads. "Perfect, It's like a blank canvas…"
Laura chuckled at the comment, "What made you decide to work at a tattoo shop? I mean usually people who want in, it's because they eventually want to become an apprentice and you know, get into the craft."
"She was desperate and I dared her," Amara responded without thinking, winning her an elbow to her side and a dirty look from her Asian friend.
"You didn't want to work at the shop?" Wanda asked.
"Hmm, I wouldn't say I didn't want to. I honestly didn't think I'd get hired due to lack of experience, but the atmosphere itself interests me. I feel like you see some wild stuff and there's the added plus of it being art related. Maybe I can learn a few things."
Wanda nodded, her ruby lips parted but before she could say anything the loud dance music started to fade prompting her to tap her phone to look at the time.
"It's showtime," Laura commented, sinking into her seat and looking at the stage.
Four people were already on the platform, two of them easily recognizable. One was the large man they had bumped into earlier, he was sitting in front of a set of drums. Next to him was a tall guy with brown shaggy hair, a guitar in his hands. Across the stage from him was a scrawny pale looking boy, he had dirty blond hair, a guitar in hand and his posture was slouched even as he stood. The last member was center stage with the microphone stand in front of him. His sapphire orbs scanned the crowd slowly before his lips curled upwards and the music started.
"Let's see what this surprise is all about," Laura mumbled, getting comfortable in her seat.
After a few seconds of the instrumental a deep growl was heard echoing through the structure.
"CAN'T TAKE ME APART!"
The crowd went wild and Jubilee turned to Wanda to smile and comment that the band seemed pretty popular but what she found made her stop. Wanda's eyes were open wide, a cross between shock and horror. She quickly turned towards Laura, she wore a similar expression.
"CAN'T TAKE ME APART!"
"What is it?" Jubilee asked before turning back to the stage. She was surprised to see that Pietro wasn't singing, he was smiling widely while pointing at a person that she hadn't originally seen on the stage. The reddish brown hair glowed as the new individual walked back and forth on the stage, a microphone in his own hand.
"See the light, a new day has arrived for us...
Genesis of our...EVOLUTION!
A linchpin holds within a means to an end
Can't you see that we are one!"
"I need to get out of here," Wanda responded hurriedly and got up off her seat. She took two steps in the opposite direction and suddenly stopped.
Jubilee looked over her figure to see what had stopped her. A tall bulky man with dark hair and a stern expression on his face stood before her, his arm crossed over his chest. After a few seconds of staring at each other he moved to the side, behind him was another gentleman. His hair was a reddish orange, he had dark blue eyes and a wide smile.
"Wanda."
It took her a moment to answer but when she did her weight shifted to one leg, "Pyro."
"Going somewhere luv?" as he spoke she could hear the hint of an accent.
Her sapphire eyes looked away from the deep blue ones to glare at her white haired counterpart who was also starring in their direction, his own microphone now in hand as his lips parted to sing.
"We see no end... to the...dream..
We will never ...see the end
We will never... be the end…"
"To get a drink. I obviously need one," and with those words she walked passed them towards the bar.
He watched her go before turning to their table and smiling. He then looked at the stage where the guy with the auburn hair was looking their way too. He shook his head at him before walking to the empty table besides theirs.
"No, you can't take me..."
"What just happened?" Jubilee asked, looking perplexed.
Laura frowned, crossed her leg over her knee and leaned back into her seat, "The Acolytes are in town."
"You can't take me...APART"
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O TBC O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
If you are surprised I'm using music then perhaps you have not read any of my past works. Music plays a big part in my imagination so yup, this fic will have it too. I guess it shares something with Rebellious Hearts ;)
The Acolytes have made their presence known and they are a band that's made it big and is touring. Good for them! So you guys can probably tell that all groups are in fact still groups but they'll be in band form. The Acolytes are a band as are the BrotherHood Of Mutants. Opposed to RH, Remy is the growler of his band while Pietro has a smoother rock singing voice.
Something new we learned: Laura, Roberto and Ray are in fact roommates. Some tattoos have been outed! Hope you guys enjoy the Ink i've placed on some of our favorites. I'll go ahead and upload some visuals on my XietroQueen tumblr in case you're interested :)
Out of our main ships we're still missing one individual and she shall make her great entrance in the next chapter. The song I used in this chapter is 'Linchpin' by Fear Factor. (Ps: A linchpin is a person or thing vital to an enterprise or organization.)
Jubilay- Lol, Jubilee thought Ray and Laura were dating XD but I guess in her defense I am making them besties so confusion could happen. She got caught drawing his tattoo, which means she was staring ;)
Amarto- He has introduced himself! He's definitely not shy to talk to start a conversation? The sun tattoo on his neck sounds pretty hot guys ngl...I'm having Amara compete in a beauty pageant...
Jonda- Damn, tenson and he's only said like two sentences. John has joined the fray and Wanda was very quick to try and leave.
Xietro- Very subtle if you squint.
Romy- MIA but it won't be for too much longer. A wild Remy has been spotted.
Thanks Again you guys! Hope you enjoyed this Chapter! See you next month and stay safe!
